"Yes I sat down with [the] management of ABS-CBN. It's just to finally talk about what happened. Matagal na sana nangyari yun pero I'm very, very happy na we are able to sit down in one room and squash whatever was there," bungad ni Derek.

"This is more to courtesy call to Sir Gabby Lopez, because I will be doing nga the movie with Star Cinema and I'm really appreciative of Star Cinema and of course my network TV (TV5) kasi pinayagan ako ng TV5 ng walang pahirapan. They allowed me to do the movie because they want me to keep going as an actor and they allowed me to do this. One step at a time," pahayag ni Derek.

"It's nice to walk down the hallway, its nice to chat with Sir Gabby (Gabby Lopez), Tita Cory (Cory Vidanes) and Tita Malou (Santos), especially Tita Malou. She was the one who told me that I have the eyes and I have the talent for this industry. I told Tita Malou na matagal ko na siyang gustong makausap. We had a long, long hug when we saw each other and we are very, very happy that we are able to put that away that part of history," pagbabahagi pa ni Derek.

"Yeah of course that would be an honor. She's a brilliant actress so I'd like to work with her ‘pag tama ang pelikula. I think Angel feels the same way, too. Yes, that would be great," pagtatapos na pahayag ni Derek.
